I totally read that hearing Paula Dean’s voice.

Our raid leader has toddlers, and his wife is one of our healers – so, we don’t progress until their kids are settled down. Recently, their elder son has gotten into the habit of walking into their office mid-fight. We’ve wiped a couple times due to their rushing up to get the kid back to bed – but their comments over skype are worth it. (Kind of a spin on Cosby’s ‘Jeffrey on a plane’ routine.)

Gratz BBB – my crazy raid group is still working on the guardians. One of our best nights last night… I was dpsing instead of healing and kept pulling off the tank. It’s easier to see what’s going on when dead!

Anyway if you want to avoid all those update checks etc – don’t run the launcher. I just run the WoW.exe directly and you skip all that fluff and get straight to the login.

I’m perfectly happy to! Being able to take the time to put our son in bed has always been a must for us. Our son’s usual bedtime is 30 minutes into raid but it seemed silly to break then and then again 30-40 minutes later so he gets to stay up a little late that evening [I just try and make sure he has a short nap that day].

But yeah, like you I’m logged in a lot, just almost perpetually AFK

My time online has been pretty much this way since I started playing. People would assume my /played was because I had my nose pressed to the screen THE ENTIRE TIME and wouldn’t grasp there was childminding and cooking and cleaning up and washing and laundry breaks all inside that window. Our raid times, even now, are pretty much wrapped up around getting two kids asleep before we go. The great thing about my Guild as well as yours is the fact people don’t take this as an issue and are happy to work around us, for which I will be eternally grateful.

It isn’t about where you are, it’s whether you’re happy or not. I wish more people grasped that and didn’t just keep steaming on towards the Shinies.
